I was just going to ask

We'd be better of loaning him out & paying a % of his wages for his final year if we really need him to leave.

Maxi Gomez signs for Valencia #CeltaVigoFinanceWatch

Even I could tell Gueye was great at Villa & could’ve been a great signing. Tackling & interception stats were only 2nd behind Kante that season.

What a signing Gueye was for £8m. His stats were great for Villa, even that season when Villa were terrible.

Happy for Sam. Clean break & a good move to a good club with a good manager. Hope gets a good run of games, goals & the confidence will do him the world of good.

15% sell-on for Plymouth https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/plymouth-argyles-massive-cash-windfall-3089470

That’s depressing.

This is true. Unless nobody comes in for them & then we are stuck with them. Some European transfer windows (Spain, for example) shut later than ours so that’s when clubs will have us by the balls.

:D tremendous timeline of events. It’s been very quiet on the Reed front, actually. Lots of very early summer talk but was always about him wanting to stay & prove himself (which I’m guessing isn’t happening).

Everton close to signing Delph.

I'd guess 20k / 25k.

West Ham in talks with Haller

Villa bid for Tom Heaton.

I saw this game live & thought we'd be brilliant that season... Never quite happened. He was tremendous that game.

Good spot. The big question is, is anyone else anywhere close to leaving?

Top stuff, Ben. Good hear from Noah Liebherr too. Great episode.

You’re spot on about the wages being the main problem. I know there is still time, but the concerning thing is how close we are to genuinely shifting anyone.

Basically, they aren’t that interested... https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-mario-lemina-transfer-16565647

In reality, loans with heavily subsidised wages is the main solution.
